Only things redeeming about the CT right now is the upgraded 48v/800 architecture, the vehicle to home/ powershare capability, and steer by wire otherwise this is a mediocre reveal after all of that.

The ground clearance is insane. I wonder what the range extender is

I've not looked at the details yet, but based on those prices I think Rivian will need to come down a bit to stay competitive. The specs and prices are compelling at first glance.

I also like idea of the 61K RWD. While not coming available for a while I imagine a lot of folks that just need a pickup will find it attractive. Rivian should consider doing the same.
If Tesla really has 1 million+ reservations and the capacity of building 250k Cybertrucks per year, it will be at least 4-5 years before a new order would take delivery.

Rivian has nothing to worry about when people can simply order an R1T and take delivery in a matter of weeks.

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
It is peculiar that they did not go with a faster charging option for the launch trucks. Makes zero sense to me.

The weight specs must be the single RWD version so they look like they come in under the R1T spec.

The length is beyond my garage’s ability to house it.

Also - one drove past the restaurant my wife and I were at last night. It looks enormous, and not in a good way. And it’s as heinous in person as it is in the pictures.

In addition, the buyer of the R1T will own a truck and not a toy.

I also wonder if the shatter resistant glass and bullet proof SS body panels really live up to the hype, how will First Responders extricate you? Also, as Elon mentioned, the Cybertruck will win in any crash. So I pity the first people that get plowed into by a Cybertruck ... RIP
And the CT occupants. What makes a vehicle safer are the crumple zones that help reduce the g-force from the sudden deceleration. Without those the occupants will absorb all that force.

I’ll be curious to see any of the crash test data for the CT.

Gas generator that straps into the "vault" to charge the truck while driving

But seriously .. no clue .. haven't been able to find any details (though i didn't look hard)

The comments over on the cybertruck forum are overwhelmingly negative.
LOL. I'm not sure what they expected. Has Elon ever delivered on his promises? Like, ever? And guaranteed that RWD model won't see the light of day until they have exhausted demand for the higher priced vehicles, and by that time the price will be higher than what they show here. Add in the fact that the truck just has so many bad design decisions for the sake of its ridiculous looks. You have to be really starved for attention or an Elon simp to actually buy one of these things. I actually can't wait to see these on the road just so I can see what kind of idiots will actually drive them.

So there is an extender mode? Is it something that straps-on?
I'll bet some serious money the range extender is simply a gas powered generator.

"It uses Cyberfuel to power a state of the art 4-cycle Cyber-Combustion generator, designed by SpaceX scientists."

I'm assuming only the CyberBeast gets rear-wheel steering?
